^ Yeah, kinda puts a damper on things.

I’m almost sad we didn’t get the over used “MASH Unit” cliche in describing the Red Sox outfield.

I was excited thinking about the Red Sox possibly being above. 500 for the first time this season if they can get a win tomorrow then saw that Verlander is slated to start.

It is, but I think it bodes well. Ellsbury should be back in July, Crawford and Bailey will be returning eventually, Melancon is dominating in AAA but for some reason he hasn’t gotten another chance…Dice-K certainly isn’t anything to get excited about but he’ll at least provide some depth when he comes back. If they win today (they’re up 5-1 in the 4th) they’ll be an even .500, which you’re right, is pretty amazing to me.

Sweet, that puts the Sox at I think 8 outfielders on the DL. The fact they are even staying afloat amidst all of this crap is amazing to me
